 Costs too much, not responsive, controls need workDec 30, 2008
My 10 year old son bought this heli after using the Nano Hawk plane for one day when it broke beyond repair. He really enjoys flying planes and helicopters but for the $65.00 plus tax we paid at Target for this toy, it just didn't measure up. His complaints were that the controls for the right, left, forward, and backward movement took too long to respond and weren't very powerful. It took over an hour to charge for a 10 minute flight time...too long. This helicopter is much more durable than the Havoc Heli which broke after a few months and Nano Hawk which broke in a day, but because of it's limitations, I can't recommend it for the money. My son is an intermediate flyer. I would not recommend this for anyone under 10 years old unless they have flying experience. He had fun with it, but it's frustrating.
Positives:
Durable--wings fold up upon impact so they don't snap off
4 extra propellers
Negatives:
Price too high
Charge time takes too long
Right, Left, forward, backward controls are weak
Not responsive enough for a toy of this price
Trimming is very difficult
 Bad choice for childrenDec 27, 2008
After seeing a commercial every time we turned on the tv, our 6 year old wanted this from santa! My husband said as they opened it, we are in for trouble. He said there was no way our son could plug the reflex in to charge. After 3 flights and only one by our son, it broke. I was on hold for over an hour to be told yes they know of the stabilizer problem, but we cannot get a new one. They suggested we return it to the store we bought to from for a refund. Needless to say we have had a ton of tears over this junky toy.
 Awesome - better than expectedDec 15, 2008
I bought a second-hand Havoc (the Reflex's smaller cousin) and had a blast flying it until it fell apart. I decided to replace it with the Reflex, and so far I've been very impressed.
The Reflex is basically twice the size, power, and price of the Havoc. It's also MUCH more controllable - you can control the altitude, forward/backward speed, and rotation. It still takes a lot of concentration and a fairly open space to fly, but it's a huge step up from other models, including the Havoc. I've only crashed it once, so I don't know how well it will stand up over time, but it sure feels solid, and the fold-away wings really do work as described.
The flight time is impressive - I still haven't completely run it down from the first charge, and I've had it in the air for well over 10 minutes. It even came 100% charged out of the box (it's supposed to come partially charged.)
In hindsight, I don't know if it's worth [...] - you might consider waiting to see if the price drops - but it's a heck of a lot of fun and a great way to relieve stress
 Gad, is this thing fun!Dec 10, 2008
Okay, so I'm 65 years old and I love a toy! So what? It makes me feel young. This thing is tremendous fun. Some reviewers say it's flimsy. I say, it's light. Heck, what do you expect it to be made out of? Cast iron? How would it fly?
Some say it's not durable. Heck, I've crashed dozens of times. All I do is re-hook the blades and take-off again. Yeah, I imagine if you got it up to full lateral speed and flew it into a cinder block wall, you could break it. But you'd break your SUV if you did the same thing. But if you at least try to stop and slowly chop the throttle in the crash, you're not going to hurt anything.
Educational? I think so. At my age, I appreciate a little hand-eye coordination practice. You have to think ahead when you fly this puppy.
The only down side is you only get 6 or 7 minutes of flight for a little over an hour of charging. And if you obey those harsh instructions, you're suppose to wait 30 minutes after discharge before you begin the charging process. Bummer. I don't care; I'm still giving it a high rating. It's just too much darn fun.
Hard to controlNov 25, 2008
Much harder to control than the smaller and lighter Havoc. When you let go of the throttle the Reflex drops like a rock to the ground due to the weight. I returned the heli and stuck with the Havoc which is much more fun.
